1 The Sabbath school's place of pray'r,
I love to meet my teachers there,
I love to meet my teachers there.
They teach me there that every one
May find in heav'n a happy home,
May find in heav'n a happy home.

Boys:
I love to go,

All:
I love to go,
I love to go to Sabbath school;

Boys:
I love to go,

All:
I love to go,
I love to go to Sabbath school.

2 In God's own book we're taught to read,
How Christ for sinners groan'd and bled,
How Christ for sinners groan'd and bled,
That precious blood a ransom gave,
For sinful man his soul to save,
For sinful man his soul to save.

Boys:
I love to go,

All:
I love to go,
I love to go to Sabbath school;

Boys:
I love to go,

All:
I love to go,
I love to go to Sabbath school.

3 In Sabbath school we sing and pray,
And learn to love the Sabbath day;
That, when on earth our Sabbaths end,
A glorious rest in heaven we'll spend;
I love to go, I love to go.
I love to go to Sabbath school.

4 And when our days on earth are o'er,
We'll meet in heaven to part no more,
Our teachers kind we there shall greet,
And oh! what joy 'twill be to meet
In heaven above, in heaven above,
In heaven above, to part no more.
